First divide by 2, then you have
1/2x-7=-3
Then add 7 to both sides
1/2x=4
Then then divide by 1/2(which is the same as multiplying by 2)
And
x=8
Distributive Property
<span><span><em><u>The Distributive Property is easy to remember, if you recall that "multiplication </u></em></span><u>distributes</u><span><em><u> over addition". Formally, they write this property as "</u></em></span><span><u>a(b + c) = ab + ac</u></span><span><em><u>".</u></em></span></span>
You multiply it with the same number you use for the denominator.
in this case 3/4 and 7/10
you find the LCM of the denominator is 20
so for 4 to become 20 you multiply by 5 then for the numerator 3 also multiply by 5, so you get 15/20
its the same also with 7/10, you multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 2 and get 14/20
hope it help... :)
